Southampton move for Celtic pair Forster, De Vrij

The Sunday Express says Koeman is expected to step up his bid to lure England international keeper Fraser Forster from Celtic.

He has already had one £4million bid knocked back and may now increase Saints offer to £5million for the ex-Newcastle United man who was one of three keepers Roy Hodgson took to Brazil and who Celtic value at around £8million.

Celtic's Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk is also interesting Koeman and the 23-year-old who Celtic have slapped a £10million price tag on, has gone public in saying he would like to join his fellow countryman in the Premier League.
